Reaction Steps

To a solution of tetrahydro-pyran-4-one (25 g, 0.25 mol) in acetonitrile (250 mL) was added (carbethoxymethylene)triphenylphosphorane (96 g, 0.28 mol) at room temperature. The resulting mixture was heated at 70° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture concentrated in vacuo. Purification by flash column chromatography (silica gel from QingDao, 200-300 mesh, glass column from Shanghai SD company, 30% ethyl acetate/hexanes) afforded (tetrahydro-pyran-4-ylidene)-acetic acid ethyl ester (27 g, 63%) as a yellow oil.
